When we asked the sickle cell community about their ‘private life’ and sickle cell, it was clear that dating and relationships were providing for some challenging times and difficult conversations. Our host, Kesewaa Browne, asked our panel about their experiences of navigating their love life with sickle cell disorder. The discussion covers looking for love, relationships, situationships and settled long term commitment. They get into the highs and lows and challenge of it all, but they all agree on what good love, with sickle cell as third wheel, looks like!We hope you find the discussion helpful, and perhaps find new ways to open some of the challenging conversations needed to navigate through your own love life. It might also be helpful to see that others are going through the exact same challenges as you.
